The generic Hearts thread

[The 90+2]

Is it a 27 game campaign?
They’ll get 14 home games, or Budge will be onto ND straight away

Then and Partick will get favourable fixtures.

[Billy Whizz]

Then and Partick will get favourable fixtures.

And hopefully a 10 points deduction at the disciplinary meeting next week

And that's AFTER he's calmed down.:lolyam:

The reason they are so angry is that they were led up the garden path by their Chairperson and those who speak for them. They were led to believe that they had a chance of not going down, recontrsuction, the league being cancelled, relegation being cancelled, the court case and arbitration. Victory was always just around the corner. Now that reality has given them a wake up call their little day dream session is over and they don't like it.

Staggering around, screaming: "Hullo, Hullo we are the Gorgie Boys. Hullo, Hullo you'll hear us by our noise. We're up to our knees in F****n B***d surrender or you'll d**, for we are the Gorgie Boys".

Was screaming it at old women on the other side of the street who looked visibly scared by him. They really are pathetic and this entire episode has really shown their support up in its true colours.

I may have missed it but, during all the tantrums, court appearances and arbitration have Hearts ever admitted that they were pretty rubbish last season? That the succession of poor managers, average players and poor management decisions led to them being bottom of the league, without a chair, when the music stopped? Because if they haven’t then they truly are over arrogant and delusional. I suppose they have made one correct decision by appointing Neilson, mainly because he knows the Championship, but it really is too little, too late. The horse has certainly bolted, in fact he has a fake ID and is living it up on the Costa Brava.

I hear they have invented the waffle.

The Waffle - could be a new one for the Yamasaurus

The Waffle (1) - an Ann Budge statement, summarised

The Waffle (2) - the staple diet of Saughton Jambo (when quoting Leslie Deans)

The Waffle (3) - potato based product, served in Castleview Restaurants that overlook no castles

I'm petrified they might decide to start playing chap door run. Waiting till I open the door then shouting "na na na na na" at me, giving me the 5-1 (on one hand) and running away.[emoji23]

Yeah but now when they take their usual few hundred fans around the country they can say it’s cause of the boycott and not just down to them having a crappy away support.

They seem to think that the championship clubs won’t be able to cope without the ‘maroon pound’. I bet they’ll do just fine.

Alternatively, if they don't start well the pressure is on. I'll never forget the feeling of losing at home to Stranraer in 1998. We had to spend big to turn that bad start around and that option won't be available to Hearts this year.

That's the most advanced tactic Hearts have used against us in 30 years of me watching derbys. Did it against Rangers twice and beat them too. They were excellent (boke). When it works it works very well but it rarely works and that's why Stendel got them relegated.

A lot of the time listening to the fans will get you into trouble. The majority of the fans (myself included) wanted Butcher when Fenlon left and that was an unmitigated disaster. Although there wasn't opposition to our signing, Alan Stubbs wouldn't have been the dream name we'd have chosen to replace Butcher but he's now a club legend.

Hearts listened to the fans too much by letting Nielson go in the first place. Then the exciting new face of Ian Cathro should have been discounted at interview as it's blatant within first impressions that he's never a first team head coach. They then didn't listen to fans and appointed Levein which wasn't too bad to begin with but they stuck too long with him and they listened to the fans who wanted Stendel.

The fans also wanted Naismith, Boyce and the likes and now they're stuck in a lower league with bang average players on a high wage.

Football fans know nothing, generally :greengrin

The Edinburgh derby is one of the most exciting games in Scottish football.

Unfortunately it's going to be taking a break in the Premiership this season with Hearts relegated to the Championship for the new campaign.

There will be a Scottish Cup clash between Hibs and Hearts, though, with last season's competition carrying over.

But that doesn't mean the rivalry isn't there with Hibs deciding to troll their rivals over their lower league status in a hilarious tweet.

The Easter Road side were showing off their new HibsTV team which includes David Tanner, Tam McManus, Joelle Murray and Cliff Pike.

They announced that they would be live for Saturday's game against Kilmarnock at 2.30pm, 30 minutes before kick-off.

And one Hearts fan decided to try troll Hibs when he responded to say:* "2.31pm, first mention of Hearts."

Hibs weren't willing to let him have that one as they got back to him with a brilliant response of their own.

They said: "We won’t be building up to the Scottish Cup tie for a little while yet. Our focus is on the Premiership for the moment."

[HoboHarry]

A lot of the time listening to the fans will get you into trouble. The majority of the fans (myself included) wanted Butcher when Fenlon left and that was an unmitigated disaster. Although there wasn't opposition to our signing, Alan Stubbs wouldn't have been the dream name we'd have chosen to replace Butcher but he's now a club legend.

Hearts listened to the fans too much by letting Nielson go in the first place. Then the exciting new face of Ian Cathro should have been discounted at interview as it's blatant within first impressions that he's never a first team head coach. They then didn't listen to fans and appointed Levein which wasn't too bad to begin with but they stuck too long with him and they listened to the fans who wanted Stendel.

The fans also wanted Naismith, Boyce and the likes and now they're stuck in a lower league with bang average players on a high wage.

Football fans know nothing, generally :greengrin
Some don't even know as much as that..... :greengrin

[Numptie]

Don't understand Hearts wanting to boycott away games. For me the 98/99 season holds some great memories as a Hibs fan. One game sticks in my mind, Ayr 3, Hibs 3 in the October - we were 2-1 and 3-1 down but the Hibs fans roared on the team to get a draw (goals from Yogi and Mixu). Hearts are just accepting that in the same position they would rather just lose 3-1.

[Dashing Bob S]

That's the most advanced tactic Hearts have used against us in 30 years of me watching derbys. Did it against Rangers twice and beat them too. They were excellent (boke). When it works it works very well but it rarely works and that's why Stendel got them relegated.

Works well against teams who want the ball and want to come at you. Was excellent for them (and well executed) against us.

But for teams who sit back behind the ball and want you to come at them (i.e.: a relegation scrap) it was worse than useless. Neither the team nor the tactics, as the results showed, were suitable for that kind of battle. I believe Covid saved Hearts from a bigger sporting humiliation (though it couldn't match their self-inflicted social one) and that had the last 8 games been played, their deficit would have been far greater than four points.

I think that if Stendel had replaced Nielson or even Cathro then he'd have been mid table, another huge issue for them was they didn't have the players required to play that high energy, high press style of play. Naismith, Berra, Ikpeazu, Berra, Soutar etc - none of them have the athleticism or ability to do that.

Pre Levein they were still hoofball merchants but at least had a few players who were decent and not permanent injury concerns.

The Hearts fans causing the real damage to their club are the ones continuing to hand cash over to Budge and her fellow directors, who are responsible for mismanagement on a grand scale. FoH haven't issued one statement that makes them seem like they will be more sensible, professional or capable of running the club in the years ahead. The future is looking bleak for Hearts.

Is 'expelled' the euphemism they've settled on? Budge seemed to favour 'demoted' when she wasn't accidentally admitting they'd been relegated.

If they're unable to face up to the truth then I'd go with 'defenestrated'.

Disgraceful ramblings from a bitter wee Jambo. This summer has mainly been about a few clubs trying to exploit a global pandemic for their own reasons, and the rest of us trying to deal with that alongside the crisis facing all professional football.

[Tommy75]

The Edinburgh derby is one of the most exciting games in Scottish football.

Unfortunately it's going to be taking a break in the Premiership this season with Hearts relegated to the Championship for the new campaign.

There will be a Scottish Cup clash between Hibs and Hearts, though, with last season's competition carrying over.

But that doesn't mean the rivalry isn't there with Hibs deciding to troll their rivals over their lower league status in a hilarious tweet.

The Easter Road side were showing off their new HibsTV team which includes David Tanner, Tam McManus, Joelle Murray and Cliff Pike.

They said: "We won’t be building up to the Scottish Cup tie for a little while yet. Our focus is on the Premiership for the moment."

I have to disagree to some extent that the Edinburgh derby is one of the most exciting games in Scottish football. I would say the atmosphere generated at the derby is one of the best you will find in Scotland. However I think the quality of the game in an Edinburgh derby is generally pretty poor and we rarely get an exciting end to end derby (no dount there are a few exceptions).

Unfortunately for us, our rivals have absolutely no intention of ever engaging in a proper game of football. Their pathetic excuse for a pitch a Tynecastle doesn't allow for an open game. Any time they come to Easter Road their tactics are to foul their way through the game or hoof te ball up the park which means the game barely gets a chance to properly get going. I have watched derby games with neutrals and they have always been impressed by the atmosphere but never really enjoyed the actual game of football.

[hibstag]

Yes they broke us up and pressed us really well, but I felt that they didnt show any real threat going forward until we gifted the goal through the penalty.

At at half time I was conviced we would get a chance as they tired ....oops

[Bostonhibby]

Whilst it didn’t work against many teams it certainly worked against us at ER

Tactics were down to a tee that night.

I’d much rather they went back to RN’s style of playYou're not wrong, but it was easily one of our most gutless,tactically inept performances in a while and god knows I've seen a few.

Was left with the feeling that we'd too many who didn't look fit or weren't able or willing to compete for some reason. Anyway we know how it all worked out in the end.

His articles are pretty much the only time you'll read about Scottish Football in The Guardian, as they have no interest in it whatsoever.

That's why he's allowed a free reign to write whatever he wants, no matter how badly.

For instance, they had an article recently on the English Women's FA Cup matches being played over two seasons and how that was the first time anything like that had ever happened and was totally unique... despite the SFA announcing two weeks before they were doing the exact same thing with The Scottish Cup.

What I can't understand is if you used to be called Pat but are now called Tam why would you need to tell everyone you're no longer Pat?

It's almost as stupid as giving all your money to Mrs doctor Budge to get your team relegated or thinking you can sign players like Martin Boyle.

Bayern, Bologna and Aston Villa in for Hickey according to the BBC - £1.5m for an 18 yo is pretty good money, will certainly fill some of the gap they have due to relegation.

He will be a big miss for them though, not sure if they have another decent full back.

Think Celtic would prefer he sees out his contract and goes back next season for free. Them being cheap skates could see them lose out as with SJM.

Apparently he likes the Bologna offer as he would be in the first team squad.

Bayern have said he would be a reserve - but their best paid reserve !!

I hope he is well advised, as (from a Scotland perspective) I would prefer he went abroad rather than Celtic.

I watched quite a bit of Bayern's second team this season as they won Bundesliga 3. Based on what I've seen of Hickey, he would struggle to get in that side.

There is no way Hickey would ever get near Bayern’s side or second. There’s also no way they are interested in him. Budges friends in the media selling him on when all the boy wants to do is play for Celtic.

Hearts getting all twisted in knots again. They wanted the proceedings public but are now fuming that the judgement will be made public?

Just gives the rest of us another chance to laugh at them.

Jacqui Low doesn’t seem one for introspection, but she surely must be having doubts about the wisdom of joining up with that shower of dimwits?

They can probably afford it due to FoH contributions.

Doncaster said on Saturday's Sportsound he'd have no problem with everything being made public. Why would Hearts and Partick not want the Judgement, or any part of it for that matter, withheld from the other clubs? After saying they wanted it all in public they are now being very hypocritical. Have they got something to hide? Maybe there's something in there about the donation from James Anderson and initially there were strings attached to it. Maybe there's something in amongst the evidence about Hearts, Rangers and Inverness plotting to get the league null & voided. It'd be great if the info was released as I'd like to see how Budge came up with the £8m figure.

[matty_f]

They're unhappy that the SPFL and the three clubs that had to defend themselves against Hearts and Partick's court action, have all given permission for publication of the judgement.

Hearts, having wanted it all played out in public, are not happy at this, because the SPFL didn't want the dirty washing done in public in court.

Hearts and Partick continue to miss the point of that choice, and again show themselves to be petty, mindless, hypocrites.

[Rumble de Thump]

The fact that Hearts comprehensively lost the arbitration case made it clear that Budge has been wrong in every aspect since day one. She refused to abide by the rules, chose to break another rule in taking the matter to court, attacked fellow member clubs and spent months libelling SPFL board members and other directors. Bringing the game into disrepute and causing all sorts of problems for clubs that they certainly didn't need. The details of the arbitration judgment would just make all this even clearer.

The fact that they've made a fuss about this will now highlight that it's they who do not want the judgment published, whereas if they'd said nothing then it wouldn't have been published and would have been forgotten about. So, once again they shoot themselves in the foot. If it was a friend behaving like that I'd seriously be wondering if they were having issues with their mental health or if they were abusing substances.

You'd really think Mrs doctor Budge and mini Mrs doctor Budge over at Partick would want it all out in the open to be consistent and to continue with the exposure of their injustice agenda.

Got to be some juicy criticism of Hearts and Partick in the full judgement, which those two want blocked. Maybe the Arbitration team said Budge is a whinging numbskull who is not fit to run a bath. Can understand if she wouldn't want that made public.

If the Scottish "journalists" were any good at their jobs they'd be putting pressure on Hearts to agree to the details being released, by questioning why they've gone from wanting it all to be conducted in public to now wanting it to be kept under wraps.

What are you hiding, Jambos??

[tomf]

Having listened to Saturday’s Sportsound podcast and the interview with Neil Doncaster I thought he came across very well and answered all the questions informatively and with clarity. For me, the most telling part was when ND was asked by RG about his contingency plan had the arbitration panel ruled against the SPFL; he said there wasn’t one...because he knew they had acted legally and correctly, within the rules of the association and that it was what the members had voted for.

It was clear from what ND said that no one was ever going to find in favour of Hearts and Partick. There was no smoking gun, no coercion, no threats, no shambles, just people trying to steer a path through a crisis as well as they possibly could. Tom English, Hearts and Partick should all hang their heads in shame and apologise for the completely unwarranted attacks on ND and the SPFL.

The other point was his answer to the endless complaint about the lack of a sponsor. ND informed us that he had almost agreed a contract with a sponsor but the pandemic and events overtook them and the sponsor had to back out almost on the eve of the deal being agreed. That is totally understandable under the circumstances as business prospects are completely unpredictable. It is a long way from being a shambles.

I think I can safely say that it is unlikely there will be an apology from TE or Hearts and probably no attempt to calm down the bitterness and bile they have stirred up. I won’t put words in TE’s mouth but I suspect that I know what his answer would be if he was challenged on his absurd accusations over the months. I fear it won’t be to say that he has realised how wrong he has been to malign Scottish football and every other club but the ones he chose to defend. I don’t recall him saying that Hibs should take anyone to court or arbitration for the league placing and the money we lost.

I am personally sick of the Hearts led narrative but I hope that the SFA rule wisely; give them a token fine along with a suspended sentence if at all possible. I think that would be for the best. Just shutting them up for three seasons would be a blessing.

If anything, it was probably Hearts who cost the SPFL its sponsor.

If signing players like Elliot Frear is the level of our ambition even in the Championship than I am afraid Robbie is going to struggle to win over the doubters.(No idea if its even true btw)just hypothetically.



This type of signing reminds me of Hibs in 2012,older,journeymen,with no sell on value and ultimately only cost the club in wages.



Now I get when JJ was here at 1st he plugged gaps with Alan Lawrence,Darren Beckford etc but we have to actively be going for the best young Scottish players.The Ali McCanns,Shanklands,Ross Stewart's etc.We need to start spending on players.



Until we get back to this type of young,ambitious players on an upward trajectory then we are going to continue on this downward spiral that seem bottomless just now imo.



Rather than sign 3 average squad fillers I'd rather we signed 1 quality midfielder/winger.

Then build a team over 2/3 seasons.

There might very well be some juicy information to come to light in an Arbitration publication. However I think that the Hearts/Partick objection is nothing more than an infantile and perverse knee jerk reaction of disagreeing with anything the SFA/SPFL say or do. If the Arbitration people were still insisting it stay unpublished the bairns would still be screaming for it’s release.

The SPFL dont want confidential or commercially sensitive information in the public domain - which is fair enough, imo.

Remember that Hearts, Partick, Dundee Utd, Cove and Raith can all see the full detail already so its hardly a state secret.

Hearts and Partick are probably getting slammed by the judgement, and are using this "we want the full evidence and detail or nothing" as a device to ensure it doesnt see the light of day.

There is nothing that vindicates their case, independent arbitration looked at the evidence and found 100% for the SPFL.

If there was anything to vindicate Hearts and Partick, then it would have emerged in the judgement - i.e. if there had been rules bent by the SPFL there might have been a wee bit of compensation sent their way.............they got hee haw, because their case was nonsense.

Hearts simply cant allow themselves to say "hands up, we were ********s" and this is just more of the bunker mentality crap pandering to the fools on kickback.
